Comment on Run code inline in Atom using Jupyter kernelsparent

As an org-babeler myself, and someone who has also used RMarkdown and Jupyter notebooks, I feel like these newcomers are quite underpowered compared to Org. Not to mention that mixing languages in a single doc is not possible / cumbersome with the others.

I do recognize, however, that being tied to emacs (the only complete implementation of org-mode / org-Babel today) is a liability. I wonder if some smart person will figure out a portable implementation in something else. Of course, it won't match the flexibility or extensibility of emacs, but perhaps it can still surpass Jupyter / RMarkdown.

I mention RMarkdown together with Jupyter simply because org-mode / org-Babel nearly addresses both the dynamic notebook use case as well as the document publishing use case (including nice academic feature like cross-references, which aren't supported in Markdown).
